― Brandon Sanderson, Shadows of Self

“But whatever he spoke he knew would be but another name for the wildness that he sought. It was a freedom and a goodness, a hope and a vigor that he perceived to underlie all the familiar things of his life, which were not free or good or hopeful or vigorous. What he sought was the source and preserver of his world, a world which seemed to turn ever in fear away from its source, rather than search it out, as the prairie grass around him sent down its fibered roots into the rich dark dampness, the Wildness, and thereby renewed itself, year after year.”
― John Williams, Butcher's Crossing

“Those who take lightly promises they make to those they love are people who find little lasting satisfaction in life.”
― Brandon Sanderson, The Well of Ascension
